History
The race was originally created unter the name Omloop der Vlaamse Ardennen (English: Tour of the Flemish
UCI Europe Tour
.
Since 2017 the race morphed into a one-day event again and was rebranded Dwars door West-Vlaanderen; initially as a
UCI Europe Tour but with the aim of becoming a 1.HC event in the near future.[2]
However, due to a shortage of volunteers for a race of this size, the organizers decided to cancel the event in 2018.[3]
